54 bayo coyote
(Sp. model spelled same [bájokojóte]; Spanish bayo [see above] plus coyote < Nahuatl coyotl 'coyote'; coyote-colored bay)A dun horse with a black dorsal stripe. Southwestern sources list this term as a synonym of bayo lobo, but Santamaría indicates that the terms are not synonymous in Mexico. According to the DM, bayo coyote is used more often for mules than for horses. It is a lighter color than bayo lobo and a horse so designated often has white spots on its head, flank, and belly. The bayo lobo horse, on the other hand, has dun and black hairs that blend to produce a darker shade of dun.Alternate form: bayo lobo.Also known as coyote dun, lobo dun. -
55 California
(Sp. model spelled same [kalifórnja]; originally the name of an island in a Spanish romantic poem Las Sergas de Esplandián, written by Garci Ordóñez de Montalvo; the name is possibly a blend of the word caliph and the names of Spanish cities such as Calahorra. When Spanish explorers discovered Baja California, they assumed it was an island and called it California. The territory that is now the state of California was known as Alta California under Spanish and Mexican rule)1) The thirty-first state in the Union. It became part of the United States in 1850.2) Northwestern Texas: 1933. The DARE references california as a verb meaning to throw an animal by catching it with a rope around its neck and flank and tripping it with one's foot. A method used especially for large and unmanageable calves. Not referenced in Spanish sources.3) An attributive adjective used in many combinations to denote animals (such as the California condor, California jay, California lion, California quail, California yellowtail, etc.), plants (California beeplant, California laurel, California lilac, California nutmeg, California sidesaddle flower), and items particular to California's history.

Noun forms:1) Colorado: 1859. The saddle girth or strap used to hold a saddle on an animal. It is generally made of braided horsehair, leather, canvas, or cordage, and has a metal ring on either end.Alternate forms: cincha, cinche, cincher, cincho, sinche.2) New York: 1888. A sure bet; an easy thing.Alternate forms: cincha, cincho, sinch.3) DARE: 1889. A four-player card game also known as Double Pedro or High Five.4) DARE: 1871. To tighten the strap on a saddle; to secure the saddle on a horse's back.Alternate form: cinch up (Adams says that cinch up is the proper term and that cinch alone was never used in Old West).5) California: 1968. To secure or fasten something.6) Nebraska: 1905. To secure a deal, to make certain.Alternate form: cinch up.7) California: 1875. According to the DARE, "to squeeze into a small place." This was also used figuratively. For instance, a person caught committing a dishonest act was cinched. Spanish sources reference only the first of the above definitions. The rest are extensions. The DRAE glosses cincha as a band made of hemp, wool, horsehair, leather, or esparto grass with which one secures the saddle on an animal. It fits behind the front legs or under the belly of the horse and is tightened with one or more buckles. Santamaría and Islas give similar definitions to that found in the DRAE, but they indicate that in Mexico the term is commonly spelled cincho.A broken cinch strap or a figurative expression for any failed venture.Washington: 1916. According to Watts and Adams, a horse that bucks and falls backward when the cinch on its saddle is pulled too tightly.Blevins glosses this term as a hook on a spur that attaches to the cinch to prevent an animal from throwing its rider.The ring on a cinch, according to Blevins.As Clark notes, this term refers to the two straps on a western-style saddle; one in the front and the other at the rear.Carlisle: 1912. According to Carlisle, a saddle strap that fits "between the ribs and the hips of the horse."Carlisle: 1930. The rear strap on a western saddle.OED: 1898. A sure thing; something that is easy. Hendrickson suggests that the term comes from a combination of cinch ( See 2) and a reference to the underworld where criminals used lead pipes as weapons because they were a surefire way to dispose of their victims. He goes on to say the lead pipes were easy to get rid of if the criminals were approached by police. His etymology is unsupported by other English sources consulted, and appears fanciful, to say the least. Also referenced in the OED as "a complete certainty."
